"The Mercato is a hidden gem with little restaurants like Mozzabella. It is worth seeking out. Mozzabella has a lovely and complete menu. I had a DELICIOUS margharita pizza and wine. The crust on the pizza was tender, fluffy and flavorful."

"One of the best pizzas I've had in Bologna (and I've eaten oh a lot). Delicious cake, fresh and local ingredients. Prices are also affordable. The only downside is the tight, crowded space, but it is a small sacrifice to try the pizza here :)"

"Excellent focaccia-style pan pizza. The dough is incredibly light and crisp. Deceptively so as te slices are quite thick-looking. A great selection of local and seasonal toppings with good options for meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans alike. It is by no means traditional Bolognese food but a nice modern break if you want something casual that is not pasta or salumi."

"First, delicious food with big portions. A single pizza is for the very hungry. We also got a simple salad that was delicious and came with pizza bread. I loved my Hugo spritz. Totally recommend! (The place is a little hard to find. You can enter the market off Ugo Bassi but then one inside, stay toward the left wall and you'll find it."
